BOARD OF GOVERNORS

A Board of Governors serves as LRI’s primary governing body.  Responsible for the current state of the organization as well as for its future, the LRI Board leads in the development and execution of effective strategies consistent with LRI’s mission and vision. It also provides financial management and directs all fundraising to ensure adequate resources for the organization.  The Board also oversees and supports all LRI programs and services.  All Board members are LRI alumni and widely respected Rhode Island leaders from a cross-section of community sectors, including business, finance, education, and community nonprofits.
